After a 2007 decision upholding a federal abortion procedure ban, she took the unusual step of reading her dissent aloud from the bench, a practice she continued with greater frequency during her second decade on the court.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, she received an honorary law degree from <span class=\"xn-org\">Harvard<\/span>, which she attended for two of the three years of her legal education. In 2012, she was the subject of a panel discussion at Yale Law School prior to being named the first Gruber Distinguished Lecturer in Women&#8217;s Rights. In 2013, an issue of the Harvard Law Review included several warm tributes to her jurisprudence, and she received the Radcliffe Medal from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at <span class=\"xn-org\">Harvard University<\/span> in 2015 for her role as a socially transformative figure.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, a popular blog created by a <span class=\"xn-org\">New York University<\/span> law student elevated Ginsburg to the status of &#8220;Notorious R.B.G.&#8221; \u2014 a humorous play on the name of late rapper the Notorious B.I.G. \u2014 and further enshrined her as an icon of American popular culture. In 2016, Ginsburg and two biographers published &#8220;My Own Words,&#8221; which became an immediate <span class=\"xn-org\">New York Times<\/span> bestseller. The 2018 documentary &#8220;RBG&#8221; brought additional attention to her life and work, and another film released that year, &#8220;On the Basis of Sex,&#8221; dramatized Ginsburg and her husband arguing her first discrimination case in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Ginsburg was a lifelong fan of opera, and during her time on the bench she came to be seen as one of the country&#8217;s foremost promoters of the art form. In 2015 she attended the debut of a one-act operatic comedy that dramatized her friendship with fellow Supreme Court justice and opera lover <span class=\"xn-person\">Antonin Scalia<\/span>, a conservative with whom she frequently disagreed on legal matters.<\/p>\n<p>During her Supreme Court years, Ginsburg battled cancer several times but always insisted on returning to the bench as quickly as possible after treatments. Even as she became more visibly frail, her determination to stick to her rigorous, much-publicized daily workout routine and her regular, relentless schedule of work earned her ever greater admiration as she demonstrated her endurance and the strength of her commitment to causes she had championed for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Ginsburg died at the age of 87 on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Sept. 18, 2020<\/span>, at her home in <span class=\"xn-location\">Washington, DC<\/span>, of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n<p>After Ginsburg&#8217;s death, she lay in repose for two days at the Supreme Court \u2014 outdoors due to COVID-19 restrictions at the time \u2014 after which, during a private ceremony, she was the first woman to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n<p><b>Please Note:<\/b> The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to nearly 165 million addresses six and often seven days a week.
